TO REDUCE FAT
To reduce fat eat the right foods.
"What foods make fat?"
Foods containing starch, sugar and
oil produce the most fat.
"What are the right foods to .eat?"
Here are a few general principles.
Stick to fruit, green vegetables, such
as spinach, beets, cauliflower, cabbage,
lettuce and onions. If you must eat
potatoes, have them baked. Live free
ly upon tomatoes, celery and whole
wheat bread. Stick to sea food such
as fish and oysters, also chicken and
other fowl, but absolutely stop eating
the rich meats.
IRISH liACE FOR LINGERIE
The newest lingerie from Paris in

This trimming is in direct contrast

TO RID LAWNS OF DANDELIONS
At this season of the year there arc
few lawn in the State not infested with
dandelions. The wepd Is very perni
cious, due to the flying seed habit, and
the heavy, fleshy root system, any part
of which may pro'duce a new plant.
The best method of combating dande
lions in the lawn is to cut out the
plants with a knife and apply salt to
the newly cut surface. The operation
may have to be repeated several times
during the season, since any roots left
in the ground sends up new plants.
Eventually the root system will be
starved out if the plants are cut per
sistently, and the dandelions will dis
appear.
Sanitary Plumbing Done
by Palmer of Lemoyne
In a bakery the size of Bricker's
there is a great deal of plumbing
necessary in order to guaranteo abso
lutely sanitary surroundings. This
work was in charge of George W.
Palmer, who conducts a plumbing es
tablishment at Lemoyne. Mr. Palmer
has built up a successful business
since he established himself at Le
moyne In 1905. Prior to that he had
twelve years of experience at the
trade. This makes the third bakery
for Brlcker for which Mr. Palmer has
had the plumbing work, the one at
Sunbury, the one In Hummel avenue
that has just been vacated and this
new and larger one. A force of twelve
plumbers is employed by Mr. Palmer
to meet the requirements of his busi
ness. He has recently completed a
building 109x50 feet, two stories and
basement, with apartments upstairs and
prlntery and barber shop on the first
floor and bowling alley In the base
ment. Mr. Palmer is an active mem
ber of the fire company, having held
the office of trustee since the organ
ization of the company In 1908.
WOMEN'S INTERESTS
THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER XLI
(Copyright, 1916, Star Co.)
At the beginning of the fourth week
of the Webbs' stay at The Heights
Grace spoke to her mother more freely
with regard to Mr. Dayton than she
hail yet done.

"Oh, nothing unusual," the girl

sudden outburst of confidence, "I

laughed as she uttered the
words, yet the mother's keen eyes

feeling that was not as trivial as
they would seem to indicate.
"I am satisfied with you Just as

(< t Grace Is Jealous
(( "Nothing much," Grace replied,
"At least to you it might not seem
much, and It certainly' is nothing
new, but I do wish I were hand
some, or at least could havo clothes
like-—some other girls."
No, -Grace was not pretty, but
surely she could not look In the
glass without seeing that she was
attractive. This thought made Myra
say now:
"Dear, you are not beautiful, but
your face is better than pretty."
Grace interrupted her with an
abrupt laugh.
"Oh, mother, dear; please don't
try to solace me by that bromidian
speech!" she protested. "From my
babyhood I've been told of the many
advantages a nice looking girl has
over a handsome <-ne; that I have
a 'bright face' or a piquant face' or
an 'intelligent face,' and I know
that each of these supposed compli
ments has been handed to me as a
kind of consolation prize.
' But I tell you that they are a
very inadequate compensation to
the girl who is not pretty, unless
she has the money to dress stun
ringly and I haven't. But never
mind "
The Change Does Her Good
Springing up and crossing the
room she dropped a light kiss on
her mother's forehead. "I am your
daughter, and that's much more
good luck than I deserve." she said.
"I was horrid and self-absorbed to
tf.lk as I did Just now when you
have been doing so much to try to
make me happy and well."
Myra Webb shook her head. "All
that I have been doing for you, as
you put It, Is that I have given my

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
By Beatrice Fairfax
TALK IT OVER WITH HER
Dear . Miss Fairfax: I am in love
with a girl three years my Junior and
I believe my love is returned. When
I ask this girl to go out she always
asks to have another man with me to
accompany her friend. Now as none
of my men friends cares for this sec
ond girl it is hard for me.
ANXIOUS.
Your girl friend seems to have an
exaggerated sense of loyalty to an
other girl. I suppose she has a gen
erous nature and likes to share her
pleasures with a less popular girl. But
she is not quite fair to you in demand
ing that you always furnish an escort
for her companion. I think you had
better tell her frankly that it Just hap
pens that most of the boys you know
are independent chaps who insist on
choosing their own companions and
that they are not willing to have you
arrange 'parties of four all the time.
Ask her to show you some of the gen
erous loyalty she shows her girl friend.
An honest little talk will probably
straighten things out.
GENERAL JOFFIIE IN LONDON
London. Jnue 9. General Joffre,
the French commander-in-chief, is in
London. He attended an important
conference at the foreign office to-day
with Paul Cambon, the French am
bassador; Sir Edwnrd Grey, the for
eign secretary, and the members of
the war coifticil.
this hotel with me for a few weeks
and you must remember your
father has had his share In that,
too."
•"No." she finished rather lamely,
'I do not see where I have done
anything more than was perfectly
natural."
"Well, then, I will include father [
in my statement," Grace amended. |
"But for you two I should have |
spent the greater part of this past j
month In the hot city, and you [
know it. It has meant much to "me
to be out here in God's country,
where I could gain the health and
strength I need carrv me
through the work of the Fail and
winter."
"It has meant more to me to have
you get well than it can have meant !
to you," Myra objected. "So now," j
with a desire to change the subject,
"why did you sigh so desperately
a while ago? Why," teasingly, "has
intimated that you were neither
beautiful nor rich? I acknowledge
that you are neither, but who has
reminded you of these lamentable
deficiencies?"
"Oh, I suppose I should not mind,"
Grace admitted. She was evidently
in a more confidential mood than
wes usual with her, for she con
tinued, "I had been playing tennis,
mid Mr. Dayton and I had won the
set. I was feeling quite elated and
proud of myself, for he was con
gratulating me on my good game,
and then as we came up the front
steps we met Sylvia Ainslie." She
stopped, blushing.
Sylvia Again
"Well?" Myra queried, "What of
that?"
"Well, she looked as if she had
stepped out of a picture, and of
course Mr. Dayton hurried forward
to speak to her, and to say admir
ing things to her, I suppose. Can
you wonder men rave about her?
"There was I, red, hot and dusty,
my hair straggling about my face,
my dress at best only a duck skirt
and muslin shirtwaist rumpled and
messy, my tennis shoes looking
sprawling and soiled and there
was Sylvia dressed in the daintiest
of embroidered linen frocks, her
hair all fluffy and curly about her
face, her eyes darker and bigger
than ever, her dainty little white
shoes and stockings immaculate!—
I tell you I looked like a blowzy
Bella beside her and somehow it
doesn't seem fair!"
Her voice broke, and, with a
movement as if to protect her. the
mother drew the girl Into her arms.

THE GENTLEST BULLET
A cat may be killed by shooting, but
tho use of chloroform is generally con
sidered more humane, suggests the June
Popular Science Monthly. Shooting has |
its merciful side also, and during the j
period of the present war, much has i
been Bald regarding the most humane i
bullet. The bullet used by the French
infantry cannot be said to be desirable,
yet it Is perhaps the least painful and
produces the fewest bad effects of any
now In use. Its swiftness enables It
to pass right through the body and to
cut a very small, clean hole, without
tearing the surrounding tissue. The
chance of escaping Important nerve
centers is thuß greatly increased.

Even the office boy has heard the

attaching a string to a magnet and
pulling it over the office floor and push
